Narcotics Section

The Specialized Investigations Division's, Narcotics Section has various components that work together to specifically focus on drug enforcement and deterrence in Nashville. The enforcement is conducted through proactive investigative techniques utilizing information from police officers in the field and information provided by citizens, as well as other intelligence gathering methods. The Narcotics Section consists of three separate functions; the Narcotics Unit, the Interdiction Unit, and representation with the Drug Enforcement Agency.

The Narcotics Unit's investigators focus on mid and upper level drug trafficking. They work closely with Nashville's citizens to investigate information related to drug dealing in the hierarchy of the drug world. Their focus is on who is bringing drugs into the Nashville area and distributing them to the dealers who in turn sell them in our neighborhoods.

The Interdiction Unit's investigators focus on drug couriers who bring drugs into and through Nashville. Couriers commonly transport large quantities of drugs and illegal money via our roadways. These investigators seek out these couriers on both our interstates and in our neighborhoods.

The Narcotics Section also has investigators assigned to the Drug Enforcement Agency. These investigators work to coordinate enforcing drug trafficking on the larger national and international scale. They also work with the DEA in enforcing criminal laws against those who manufacture and traffic methamphetamine.
